It's a Wiki World

Donna Knott and Laura Deisley

What is a wiki, you ask? Wikipedia defines it as “a page or collection of Web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified markup language.” Wiki is a Hawaiian word meaning “fast”.
Wikis in Plain English- A YouTube video
Wiki vs Webpage
Web page = static, updates are time-consuming, can be expensive
Wiki = collaborative effort, quick and easy to add to or change, hosting is free or very inexpensive (wikispaces is the one we use. They offer free spaces to educators)
